Basement III Gallery
Manifesto for a Revolution
This room contains a manifesto for a revolution. The first points one to twelve on the grey wall were created by this exhibition’s Planning Group with the artist Rosanna Irvine. It is a statement of the intentions, motives, and views that guides their shared revolution.
By The Out of Sight Out of Mind Planning Group (with Rosanna Irvine)
This revolution will not be out of sight.
This revolution will not be out of mind.
This revolution will be quiet. This revolution will be loud. Ear defenders will be provided.
This revolution will be multi-sensory. Ears. Eyes. Fingers. Toes. Taste. Touch.
Equalising. Empowering. Enlightening. Equitable. Engaging.
This revolution will be internal and external, individual and collective.
We continue this revolution building on what has gone before. We live this revolution in solidarity with the world. We live this revolution every day.
Kindness is the architecture to the world we want to be living in, where we act with care and love.
We want our political and economic system to be kind and to nurture kindness.
All of our voices will be embraced, including yours, regardless of ability and method of expression.
We will create our own narrative, resisting all stereotypes and othering.
This revolution is creating a world where there are places that are safe, non-hierarchical, where people can go to anytime and be themselves.
What is your revolution?
During the exhibition visitors were invited to add to the manifesto around the room.
